Setting Up Your Printer on a Network
For Windows
Sharing the printer
This section describes how to share the printer on a standard 
Windows network.
The computers on a network can share a printer that is directly 
connected to one of them. The computer that is directly connected 
to the printer is the print server, and the other computers are the 
clients which need permission to share the printer with the print 
server. The clients share the printer via the print server.
According to the versions of Windows OS and your access rights 
on the network, make the appropriate settings for the print server 
and clients.
Setting the print server
❏For Windows Me, 98, or 95, see “Setting up your printer as a 
shared printer” on page 124.
❏For Windows XP, 2000, NT 4.0, or Server 2003, see “Using an 
additional driver” on page 126.
Setting the clients
❏For Windows Me, 98, or 95, see “With Windows Me, 98, or 
95” on page 133.

page 134.
 
						

							124Setting Up Your Printer on a Network ❏For Windows NT 4.0, see “With Windows NT 4.0” on page 
138.
Note:
❏When sharing the printer, be sure to set EPSON Status Monitor 3 
so that the shared printer can be monitored on the print server. See 
“Setting Monitoring Preferences” on page 71.
❏When you are using a shared printer in a Windows Me, 98, or 95 
environment, on the server, double-click the Network icon in 
Control panel and make sure that the “File and printer sharing for 
Microsoft Networks” component is installed. Then, on the server 
and clients, make sure that the “IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol” or 
the “TCP/IP Protocol” is installed.
❏The print server and clients should be set on the same network 
system, and they should be under the same network management 
beforehand.
❏The screen may vary depending on your operating system version.
